Chapter 57: You Can't Have Two Together
Early in the morning, Qi Feng was busy cleaning the yard. Xue Nian was leaning under the porch, his eyes unconsciously falling on Qi Feng's figure who was hunched over with his back to him.
For some reason, recently, Qi Feng's previous appearance in women's clothing always appeared in his mind, like an lingering phantom.
The graceful posture and gentle face were constantly intertwined and overlapped with the capable and neat figure in guard uniform in front of him, causing an inexplicable feeling to surge in his heart, making him confused and somewhat moved.
Just as he was thinking deeply, Qi Feng finished cleaning the yard and turned around to fetch water to wipe the stone table.
Xue Nian seemed to be driven by something, and subconsciously stepped forward quickly. In a few steps, he was in front of Qi Feng, stretched out his hand to take the bucket from his hand, and said anxiously:
"Let me do it, Qi Feng. Leave this kind of thing to a man..."
Qi Feng: “……?!!”
What's wrong with Xue Nian so early in the morning?
As soon as Xue Nian finished speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong and his face turned red.
He quickly laughed and explained:
"What I mean is that I am stronger than Guard Qi, so I should be the one doing this kind of hard work..."
Qi Feng's face also turned slightly red, and he looked at Xue Nian with a complicated look.
"No, I mean,"
Xue Nian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and reorganized his words.
"...I'll go get some water."
Before he finished his words, he ran towards the well.
Qi Feng stood there, staring at his back as he ran away, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly, then he picked up the broom as if nothing had happened and continued cleaning.
Xue Nian ran all the way to the well carrying the bucket, supporting his knees with his hands and gasping for breath.
His heart was beating like thunder, not only because of the running all the way, but more because of the inexplicable actions and words he had just said.
He straightened up slowly and looked at his reflection in the well.
He raised his hands and slapped his face again and again, muttering:
"Xue Nian, ah Xue Nian, what are you thinking about? You are a man, and you will marry a wife in the future."
"Xue Nian." Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
"ah……"
Xue Nian was so startled by the sudden scream that he jumped up and almost lost his balance and fell into the well.
He turned around in shock and saw Lu Bo standing behind him, complaining:
"Lu Bo, why are you playing tricks on me? You're scaring me to death."
Lu Bo looked puzzled, frowned, and said unhappily:
"Who is playing tricks in broad daylight? I think you are possessed, muttering to yourself in front of the well."
Xue Nian let out a long sigh, calmed himself down, and looked at Lu Bo in front of him. She walked slowly around him, looking him up and down, shaking her head as she did so.
Lu Bo was made uncomfortable by his strange behavior. He felt a strange look in Xue Nian's eyes, so he crossed his arms across his chest and said vigilantly:
"Xue Nian, what are you doing? Are you really possessed?"
Xue Nian stopped, walked closer to Lu Bo, and asked seriously:
"Lu Bo, do you think Qi Feng looks good in women's clothes?"
Hearing this, Lu Bo was stunned for a moment, then his eyelids rolled up, and he thought:
It turns out that I was really possessed by an evil spirit.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Qi Feng looks good in both men's and women's clothes, but Xue Nian, can your idea of 'good-looking' be the same as mine?"
After saying that, he curled his lips, looking like he didn't want to discuss this topic with Xue Nian anymore.
Xue Nian touched the back of his head and asked in confusion:
"What's different?"
Lu Bo was too lazy to pay attention to this stupid guy. He turned around, waved his hand, and strode away, leaving Xue Nian alone in the wind.

Zhu Wenqin did what she thought. After Jing Siye left court, she insisted that he take her out to play.
Jing Siye looked at Zhu Wenqin's anxious expression, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a knowing smile.
He naturally understood Zhu Wenqin's thoughts. The little girl just wanted to go to the market to buy those storybooks, but the storybooks she bought this time were a little special and could not be entrusted to others.
Originally, taking Zhu Wenqin out for a walk was not a big deal.
But because of his special identity, Jing Siye has always hoped to clear Li Xiao's name before publicly announcing Zhu Wenqin.
Furthermore, that Wang Zhiyan moved into the palace again.
The last time Zhu Wenqin got into trouble, Jing Siye originally planned to kick her out of the palace.
But when he calmed down and thought about it, since she was a spy planted in the palace by the emperor and the prince, it would be better to make good use of her instead of driving her away forcefully.
However, in this case, I have to keep an even closer eye on this innocent and precious child of mine, and never let him get hurt in the slightest. So, for now, I have to let him learn a few tricks of self-defense.
Jing Siye frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Wenqin, and said in a gentle and coaxing tone:
"Qin'er was thinking about being the master of the house before, right? Qin'er should understand now that being with me requires a lot of physical strength. How about Qin'er learning martial arts first?"
When Zhu Wenqin heard this, her face instantly fell, and her lips were so plump that a kettle could be hung on them. He pointed at his finger and shook his body:
"Can't we have both together?"
Jing Siye was speechless for a moment when he heard this, "..."
This little guy is really imaginative. He wants to study technology while training his physical strength?
"What did Qin Er say? What do you mean two of them together?"
Jing Siye asked deliberately, wanting Zhu Wenqin to explain her thoughts more clearly.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Wenqin quickly waved her hands and stammered:
"No, nothing. What I mean is, I'll practice martial arts first."
